Hello, i just installed this plugin on 2 of my gallery's. On the first one it didn't work. The overlay is visible but it didn't show any images nor controls. This site is using a bridge with Joomla 1.5. Maybe this could be a problem??

you have the Imageflow plugin installed as well as far as I can see. I'm not an expert on those two plugins, but I think I have read somewhere (either on this thread or the Imageflow thread as far as I remember out of the back of my head) that the two are not compatible because their JavaScript bits collide. Temporarily disable the Imageflow plugin to see if that's the case.

Why don't you post a link to your gallery as suggested per board rules - that's much more helpfull than this guessing game.

I've removed this plugin as it is not working in this setup so there is nothing to be seen. I can install it on another setup where this might be the same, but in this LIVE setup i want a working gallery not a broken one

On another site without a Joomla bridge, this plugin works excellent.

Do you have any suggestions to get this working with a joomla-bridge?

Since I made this plugin, I have switched to a Joomla bridge as well. I have the exact same problem that you describe. The problem is not the bridge. It's the visual integration. The plugin works just fine when it's bridged but not visually integrated. I can't really figure out what's causing it. I think it's a javascript conflict, b/c the visual integration loads the Joomla header and all of the Joomla javascript.

The Joomla stuff from Mehdi is not just a bridge file. As jeepguy suggested, it interferes with the visual representation as well, which is something a bridge file as we understand it should not do. That's one of the reasons why we (the coppermine dev team) are not that fond of the Joomla bridge and why we don't recommend it. However, as suggested by jeepguy as well, that's not the fault of this plugin, but the implementation of the Joomla hack. Hence this issue should not be discussed in detail in this thread imo.

One last comment on the Joomla integration. The bridge can be used without visual integration if you rename or delete the joomla15.integ.php file. Doing so will allow the bridge to function as a bridge only and allow for the LightBox plugin to work as it should.

I am just installed coopermine ver. 1.4.25 (stable) and I would like to install the lightbox plugin on it.My problem is that when I copied the files to the plugin directory and istalled it on the admin page,then when I open the pictures, the lightbox plugin does not work. It is just throw the picture, without lightbox effect.(But for example, the forum plugin works for me.)

I am using Coppermine 1.4.25 in combination with the Light Box 1.2 Plugin. The plugin is very very nice, thanks for the great work! Everything works fine, except when clicking on random thumbnails. In this case I only get the message: "There was an error while processing a database query". The same problem was already reported for an older version of Coppermine in the following thread: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,52160.0.html. But the solution posted in the mentioned thread doesn't fix the problem. The solution mentioned in the thread refers to an error in Coppermine, but imho it is caused by the plugin. When the plugin tries to build its internal picture list, it uses the result of $_GET['album'] as album identifier. This is fine in most cases, but when clicking on one of the random thumbnails, "random" is passed as album identifier. Because the plugin doesn't change the album identifier to the random pictures actual album ID, it tries to build its internal picture list based on the random album, instead of the actual album related to the picture. This leads to an error when the plugin calls the get_pic_data function, as the parameters don't match for the random album.

In order to fix the bug, just one line in the codebase.php of the plugin file has to be changed.
